History PhD!
You know everything there is to know about history!

Always fun to answer questions, but the test is slightly weak and they should have removed the pictures as well, I don't have a PhD in history, so guess it can't figure it out correctly

 

[Wandering Monk]

I scored 100%

I missed one but agree with others who observed that the pictures made the test weak.

Yes, I agree with that. And with some others, the choices were just ridiculous! Made it obvious which choice was correct.

100 percent...but all it shows is that I know a number of facts about history...but it doesn't test what one knows about the theories and methods used in history, such as describing the "Great Man" theory, or any of the competing models that have been developed...

That's a very easy test, at least for Americans. Tests like those are designed to make the people who take them feel proud, not to tell you anything useful.

Especially annoying are poorly written questions like "In what year did the Spanish Armada occur?". But when you have questions like "Who conquered England in 1066, the only time a foreign army has ever conquered Britain in the last 1000 years?" and the answers are "William the Conqueror" and "Steve the Mildly Competent," it's pretty obvious that the test isn't meant to score anyone badly.

Yeah, “Steve the Mildly Competent” was silly.

I agree. It was obviously for Americans.!

you don't know how much I wanted to answer "Steve the Mildly Competent" on that question

Thanks, I almost stopped at 100, and I got all of them right as well.

Basically a no brainer, but some of the wrong answers were hilarious.

Since I am roughly half Finnish I so wanted to say that Sweden caused the depression.

It was large aimed at Americans, but clearly not written by one. I have never heard of a President being "eliminated" by anyone that was brought up speaking English. And I have noticed that on other simple feel good tests like this one. I wonder what country they are written in.
